This week has been Graduate Fashion Week in London, the chance for recently graduating fashion graduates to show their designs. I was invited to the Arts University Bournemouth show. Not only was the range of design talent impressive, but the graduates had used a variety of models, aged from 7 to the 70s, showing that fashion is for all - and this set me thinking.

The more older men and women I see wearing a wide range of clothing, the more I realise that there are few styles that can't be worn at any age - it's how you wear a look rather than what you wear. Confidence and a strong sense of style are needed - but self-confidence grows with age, so use it.
In the image above are the incomparable Jean Woods, of Fabulous Fashionistas fame, who was walking the catwalk for the first time at Graduate Fashion Week (and did so with great style and confidence) and David Gant, the experienced model and actor.

Well done to all at Arts University Bournemouth for a superb show - and for showing that fashion is ageless.
